Springs

I have never lowered a car. Do you need to worry about shocks or struts when you lower a car? I really don't want to make a mistake by lowering my car and wearing out something else.

What offers the smallest drop? I know the sportlines will be recommended but I wanted something very mild (and the sportlines are kinda pricey)

there is a thread on it, but as long as you dont drop too drastic the wear and tear wont be bad.

You will be fine with sportlines, they will give you about an inch. If you want better springs, but no drop... prokit... it will give you .3 in the back which will level you out, and give you better handling

Tenzo FTW...your shocks an struts will be good for a minimum of 6-12 months depending on the terrain an how you drive it
